Houseboat History - from a KingsCraft employee
by: Mike

I worked the 35' Kingscraft, the 55' houseboat and the 36' cruiser line as an interior guy back around 72-74. We took a lot of pride in the quality of those boats. Management never pressed us to cut corners or "speed up" to compromise quality.

Now that I've reached retirement age, I've thought about finding an old one and doing a complete rebuild. That would bring back some good memories.

Looking for houseboat hull information?
by: James

Have my eye on a 1974, 44 footer KingsCraft that is completely gutted. The glass is there and the floor, which has been replaced, remains. No motors, controls, walls, etc Anyone know a ballpark value of the hull and weight?

Houseboat Schematics - any manuals or diagrams for a new owner
by: Anonymous

I just purchased a 35' Kingscraft and have started a total rebuild. Would really like to find a wiring schematic. The craftsmanship that went into the construction of these boats was excellent! Anyone have any old manuals or schematics?

Houseboat History - 40 year old Kingscraft
by: K

We bought the boat a year ago and have enjoyed it's fuel economy and size (35'), just had the engine rebuilt and need to replace the 41 yr. old commode also. The boat was made in 1969 and from what we can tell almost everything is still original to the boat. The generator will be the next repair-still works great but it is 41 years old!

I have the original brochure but would like to see what the 35' looked like, inside and out and was there a side port hole, where was the fridge and how was the head configured? Was there a sink and shower in the head also?

We've re-done the cushions and need to remove the interior Krylon paint job which is horrible and although there is a lot to do getting it back the way it should be, we still load up the neighborhood on Friday nights and cruise here around the lake (Lake Whitney, Texas) for hours. We fish and raft up with friends and enjoy the boat all year around.

What was the original color scheme? And is there some place to get wiring diagrams? The windows are strange with the metal surface locks-can this be changed and to what or how? We've only seen one other Kingscraft; they must be farther north. We'd like to put sea air in it-has anyone else with this size KC done this?

Wonderful boat, well built and economical and would like to hear from others that have this or know of a way to get information on it. Thanks

Remodeling and Decorating Houseboats
by: Gail

I just bought a 72, 44 ft Kings Craft houseboat, and for the next two years we will be remodeling and decorating and (well everything). Your picture motivates me. The only thing, our bedroom seems a lot larger. There is a cabinet between the microwave and the bedroom too. Good job!
